Well, from what I can gather... two million, two hundred & twenty six thousand, five hundred and thirty six regular citizens of Earth, who want to access over a million gigabytes of pirate software, mp3s and porn. Duhh. Wake up.
I used my hifi/computer setup to put the entire CD on Kazaa @ 98kbs this afternoon.
Nobody seems to have downloaded any of it yet though (lol).
I will part exchange the CD for JK2 tomorow:)
Isnt that why he said "something like" and "or whatever..."?
Hes right. You need to summarise the liscense in less than 7 words IMO. Because people on computers have an attention span of approximately 2 seconds.
With regards to toolbars being a Windows invention, I recall Deluxe Paint for my Amiga something-or-other havint toolbars, and that was 10 years or more ago.
Why didnt they just encrypt it, the whole network/transmission that is? That would be an obvious thing to do if I were programming anything of this nature.
Heck, I went to the bother of XOR`ing the TCP stream on my high school computing project, surely the nitwit who wrote/engineered this system should have taken the time to add security to it?
The fundamental issue here is that they can reliably control the rat by electrically stimulating its brain. I forget his name, but a 19th century brain surgen was able to make one of his corpses humm an opera he had heard almost 2 decades before dying time and time again by prodding the right area of his brain. Its interesting to see where this will ultimately lead... Obviously someone has the equipment neccessary to both accurately stimulate a rats brain, interrogation devices?:)
Good thing he explicitly stated he was talking about Desktop operating systems then:)
Saying BSD is more organized than Linux is a bit like saying Microsoft is shite compared to my business: My two penciles and one sheet of paper are incredibly neat, and we do nothing, so theres none of that messy paper work.
Well, thats a stupidly exagerated example, but you know what Im saying right?
apt-get update; apt-get upgrade;
I cant for the life of me understand this "upgrade every XY months" business of other distros, especially buying a new CD!
It seems utter *MADNESS* after you have used Debian/Anything apt based for a while.
As it stands, I dont have a firewall/bridge in my house, but soon I will, and £10 says there is a way to ensure the malware in Kazaa doesnt call home. Or does kazaa not like being masqed in the first place?
Its nice to see Kazaa Lite, hope it stays available.
As I understand, what the page *means* to say is 'A liscensed OS must not be used on another PC' rather than what it actually says which is 'A computer must not be used with another OS'.
Digusting. Simply disgusting. I`d throttle Bill Gates for this immoral deception.
*Sigh*
Didnt anybody tell you, all of the Debian users and developers are 22 year old female blondes with soft breasts and blue eyes. We`d have a hard time getting a Woody!
Whats that? Youre becoming a Debian developer?
Actually, if I understand correctly, the #!/bin/something tells the *kernel* not the shell which interpreter to use. Atleast on Linux.
The shell doesnt manually parse/interpret each script you run, it just tells the kernel too, and, upon realizing its not a recognized binary executable, the kernel looks for #! and then interprets it.
This is why its possible to have SUID scripts on most systems (though not on Linux, the kernel ignores SUID scripts for some reason).
Eh? It just wordwraps. Ive been wondering wtf you people are talking about all the time lol.
Which browser(s) is vulnerable? Or shouldnt I ask - MSIE?.
It would probably quite impress them to see some ancient P65 with no HDD running KDE, KOffice and a silly theme like Mosftes Liquid via Remote X11. Especially if you line up 10 of these machines and go around deleting essential files, then explain they neednt go around each one reinstalling Win98, as the admins did in college last week:)
Also, find some very constructive uses of command line piping, perhaps using netcat to redirect something on the network?
If you really feel they need to be impressed and enthused about it, mix something a tad mischievious into it - let them grep the netcat`ed FTP session for "password". They`ll probably feel like Mentor the second knowing Microsoft people.
Oh, and if you can get Debian up and running, show them the beauty of apt-get install and the remote package repository:)
Samba might be worth mentioning too.
Email and Jabber are usually used for different things.
Fact of the matter is, for inter-office comms, its just as quick to find the person and tell them as it is to start an email client and wait for the whole process to deliver their message, then wait for them to check mail etc etc.
Jabber = *Instant* messaging.

Yeah, who would want to use such a program?

Wonder if it will segfault on me again... Might try it, just for a break from the Konq.
"Uses the patented dual screen technology" Uhm, they patented having two screens on a laptop?

"Those who are willing to sacrifice essential liberties for a little temporary security deserve neither liberty nor security"
Yeah, just like my cable modem has 512kb of bandwidth, but beats ADSL-1mb by 200% on ping times. Perfect for gaming.
Here comes the obligatory "Here comes the obligatory 'Imagine the ping times' post" post. Recursive/nested obligatory posting. Hmm.
You can see TNT crystalize at 200x magnification?

Im just glad I live in England where Micorsoft`s nasy tactics hit our government aswell as our citizens, there is an Anti-MS inclination over here.

Which nob head at the Patents Office was on crack when this got approved?
/Me patents reading Slashdot.

Whats wrong with MySQL? It does everything the website claims it does.
Fine in Konqueror. Why, is it somehow broken in other browsers?
